Dandruff is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of flakes of dead skin from the scalp in the hair. The sensation of itchiness in areas of the scalp is a common symptom of this condition. The condition is not contagious and cannot be passed from person to person. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), approximately 50% of the world's population suffers from dandruff, and it can be treated and managed, with effective dandruff treatment.
Dandruff is caused by a fungus called Malassezia Globosa, which feeds on the oils that exist on most scalps. When oil breaks down, it produces oleic acid. Some people are allergic to oleic acid, which causes excessive scalp skin shedding. This skin condition wreaks havoc on the scalp. As the skin layers are constantly replaced, cells are pushed outward, where they die and flake off.
Although dandruff flakes may appear similar, they can be caused by different types of scalp conditions. Knowing what type of dandruff you have is essential before you start your dandruff treatment at our clinics in Dubai.
Seborrheic dermatitis causes severe redness, sores, and itching of the scalp. It is primarily visible on the back of the head and neck.
Dandruff does not directly cause hair loss. The itching caused by dandruff affects the hair follicles, which can result in some hair loss. Dandruff might increase hair loss in people with androgenetic alopecia.
According to a study published in Researchgate, homeopathy dandruff treatment effectively treats seborrheic dermatitis. Homeopathy dandruff treatments are extremely effective and have no side effects.
Homeopathy is effective in treating a wide range of health problems with no side effects. In a 2002 clinical trial, two groups were assigned for the study of dandruff treatment. After 10 weeks of dandruff treatment, the group that received the homeopathic remedy in low doses showed significant improvement.
